Who was the WWE 'mystery man' last night on RAW? Hint: It wasn't Brock Lesnar

Too soon?
Speculation, much like Hulkamania, was runnin' wild last night in Memphis, Tenn., during the Jan. 2, 2012, edition of World Wrestling Entertainment's (WWE) Monday Night RAW.
The pro wrestling outfit had been teasing the return of a "mystery man" to its flagship program and former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar, who retired from mixed martial arts (MMA) at UFC 141 after Alistair Overeem retired his liver, was one of the leading candidates.
Too bad Lesnar, a WWE veteran, is still under contract with the UFC.
That doesn't mean a return is out of the question, but considering he just competed last weekend (Dec. 30, 2011), it's probably going to be awhile before the "Brockness Monster" finds his way back to the land of make believe.
So if it wasn't Lesnar, than who was it? WWE's big "mystery man" (via Cageside Seats) after the jump.

Never heard of the guy. Sad that this news is on the mania frontpage.
20$ on money pool season with kg12 as well as VM, on who finishes higher.
My 10$ vs Chorongota's 15$ on Brock to beat Reem. Also sig and pic for the whole month of January (minimum 200 comments).
mma fans were, for a large part, former fans of prowrestling
i guarantee you that.
and jericho is awesome on the mic and dude can work a match like the best of them. Sad that mma fans don’t own up to what brought most of them here in the first place
pride never die.
You mean .....
….when we were 12 and found out it wasn’t real, we decided to watch something that wasn’t fake? Then you’re right!
so you watch sitcoms and believe it's real?
do you watch tv at all? ‘cause ’lost’ looked anything but real. do you watch movie? have you seen megatron or optimus prime running around your block? ’cause news flash, all of that shit is fake too.
people nowadays watch wrestling knowing very well it’s scripted, grow up please
pride never die.
I used to watch wrestling all the time
even after I knew it was scripted. It was more storyline than the fights that got you watching.
I remember watching Stampede wrestling from Calgary when all the Hart’s were really young. Common sense, not the wrestlers themselves told you it was scripted.
Wrastling was decent
and after watching Lesnar and Leben take dives…………………..
You've been Dana'd
i don't think lesnar took a dive
he just wasn’t all there. It sucks because that fight could have been more of a thrill ride than a one sided beating
pride never die.
he didn't intend to take a dive
but as soon as he got hit with those body shots, he was just waiting for the ref to stop the fight
What the hell am I thinking when I picked the cowboy from New Mexico to beat the other guy from 209. I should have joined the Dark Side and learned more about MMA than spend most of my time watching episodes of New Girl, Nikita and Jersey Shore. Next time, I will be more careful when betting with Phasebook

I'm with you, VHW
Y2J is one of my all-time faves, up there with Stone Cold and The Rock.
When a Texan decides to take his chances, you know chances will be taken.
Do you remember when Jericho beat them both in the same night!?!!?
WELCOME TO MMA MANIA IS JERICHO!!!

Agreed, all these Jabronis that talk of purity have the same smell as the jackasses in Boxing that compared MMA to cockfighting.
Glad to know that socalled purists are alive and strong. I wonder where they were when the UFC was about to fold and was considered a social stigman. werent too pure then werent they.
I've got something to say; it better to burn out than to fade away!!!
I'm still waiting for my CM Punk WWE Ice Cream Bar.

It would lead me to believe that @bisping must have pissed off @danawhite something fierce. RT @drjamezkelske: @danhendo just out of curiosity, if the #ufc comes to you and asks you to fight Bisping again how do you respond?" -Dan Henderson

Hope there won’t be much more WWE news on this site.When lesnar returns to pro wrestling that should be the last we hear of it.

maybe they’ll bring shamrock back. and have their own mma belt too. can’t wait. it’s the only place you’re going to see a leaping triangle from the top rope

people need to realize the differance between fake and staged
It real to a point like when Brock broke his neck doing a moon sault look that up on youtube and say that’s fake

Agreed
Kenny Florian is 0-3 in title fights. I am 0-0 in title fights. MMA maths mean I'm better than Florian!

stephanie is a man with tits, and not just any man, a man with a mandible that could split granite and shoulders you could fit 12 parrots on
she’s certainly daddy’s little girl. no one could fuck that unless the only other woman they fucked was even more manly than that and he was taking gradual steps ween himself off cock and convince himself he’s straight

"It’s Mark Pavelich calling from the Maximum Fighting Championship,
I’ve just received notice that Drew Fickett or you, I don’t care which one of you fuckers did it, has signed a contract to fight in Strikeforce this fucking weekend. I’m going to get on a fucking plane soon and go where you’re at and choke you the fuck out. I’m telling you right now, I’ve had enough of your fucking shit. First of all, I’ve sent you the fucking pictures and secondly, I placed Drew Fickett in a fight fucking months ago and five weeks prior to my main event of my fucking fight card. You’re going to give me a fucking call tomorrow or I swear I’ll get on a fucking plane and go right where you’re at right now. You’re pissing me off, I’ve been nothing but professional to you motherfuckers and you’re doing this kind of bullshit, alright? Call me back, I’m fucking pissed."

Maybe.....
There should be an MMA section and a WWE section on here. Personally I don’t want to be talking WWE and I don’t care about it. Clearly a lot of you do.
you know, not clicking the wwe news works wonders in order of not having to read about it
also, this isn’t the first non-mma related news posted in here, you know?
pride never die.
but you already came in with a preformed opinion
Personally I don’t want to be talking WWE and I don’t care about it

"Personally I don’t want to be talking WWE "
yet you are
you know not reading a post and not clicking on something is far easier to do than what you just did? i do it with chael posts al the time

go to cageside
What the hell am I thinking when I picked the cowboy from New Mexico to beat the other guy from 209. I should have joined the Dark Side and learned more about MMA than spend most of my time watching episodes of New Girl, Nikita and Jersey Shore. Next time, I will be more careful when betting with Phasebook
